Multiple script subtags would be very difficult for users to understand and use consistently. And we'd have to deal with canonical ordering rules, prefix checking, and all sorts of other nastiness---all to figure out which Latin transcription was used? Bah.
Not to mention: if script variations aren't registered in 15924, where will they come from? What rules will be applied to their registration? Why does anyone think ietf-languages will be a good arbiter of said variations?
